BACKGROUND:With the aging of the global population,the incidence rate of osteoporosis is also increasing.It is very important to further understand its pathogenesis and propose new therapeutic targets.Recent studies have shown that ferroptosis is closely related to the pathogenesis of some bone diseases,such as inflammatory arthritis,osteoporosis and osteoarthritis. OBJECTIVE:To summarize the previous studies on the mechanism of ferroptosis in osteoporosis,so as to provide new therapeutic ideas and potential therapeutic targets for osteoporosis. METHODS:The first author used the computer to search the documents published from 2000 to 2022 in CNKI,WanFang,VIP,PubMed and Web of Science with the key words of"ferroptosis,osteoporosis,osteoblasts,osteoclasts,iron chelators,reactive oxygen species,nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2,heme oxygenase-1,glutathione peroxidase 4,review"in Chinese and English.A total of 70 articles were finally included according to the inclusion criteria. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Ferroptosis is significantly different from necrosis,apoptosis and autophagy.In terms of cell morphology and function,it does not have the morphological characteristics of typical necrosis,nor does it have the characteristics of traditional apoptosis,such as cell contraction,chromatin condensation,the formation of apoptotic bodies and the disintegration of cytoskeleton.Contrary to autophagy,ferroptosis does not form a classical closed bilayer membrane structure(autophagic vacuole).Morphologically,ferroptosis is mainly manifested by obvious contraction of mitochondria,increased membrane density,and reduction or disappearance of mitochondrial cristae,which are different from other cell death modes.Iron overload can destroy bone homeostasis by significantly inhibiting osteogenic differentiation and stimulating osteoclast formation,leading to osteoporosis.Iron overload interferes with the differentiation of stem cells to osteoblasts,leading to a weakened osteoblast function and further imbalance of bone metabolism in the body,which eventually leads to osteoporosis.Stimulated by iron overload,osteoclast bone resorption is enhanced and bone loss exceeds new bone formation.Iron chelators have been proved to have osteoprotective effects by inhibiting osteoclast activity and stimulating osteogenic differentiation of osteoblasts.Its potential mechanism is related to inhibiting osteoclast differentiation and promoting osteoblast differentiation.Antioxidants can prevent reactive oxygen species production and inhibit bone absorption,thus improving bone metabolism and effectively preventing osteoporosis.

Objective :
To investigate the relationship between the level of the soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cell (sTREM-1) in the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) of individuals and peri-implantitis.
Methods:
46 patients (75 implants) with different severities of peri-implantitis and 18 patients (75 implants) without peri-implantitis were selected in this study. The concentrations of sTREM-1 in GCF with different types of peri-implantitis were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The peri-implantitis peroxidase depth (PPD), the distance from the shoulder of the implant to the bottom of the bony defect (DSB), the modified sulcus bleeding index (mSBI) and the modified plaque index (mPLI) were recorded. The correlation between PPD, DSB, mSBI, mPLI and sTREM-1 was analyzed.
Results :
The concentrations of sTREM-1 in GCF in mild, moderate and severe peri-implantitis group were significantly higher than those in healthy group (P < 0.05). The concentrations of sTREM-1 in GCF in severe peri-implantitis group were significantly higher than those in mild and moderate group (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the concentration of sTREM-1 in GCF between mild peri-implantitis group and moderate group (P > 0.05). In addition, there was a significant positive correlation between the concentration of sTREM-1 and PPD, DSB, mSBI, mPLI.
Conclusions
The concentration of sTREM-1 in GCF is closely related to the severity of tissue inflammation around implant.

Objective To investigate the biological mechanisms and feasibility of collagen/hydroxyapatite scaffolds for repairing articular cartilage and subchondral bone defects. Methods 45 New Zealand white rabbits were included. Full-thickness articular cartilage defect models were established in experiment and control groups and the biomaterial scaffolds were implanted in the experiment group. The animals were sacrificed in the 4th, 6th and 8th week after the operation respectively. Histological scores were performed by semi-quantity cartilage scoring system and the expressions of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs)-2, 3, 9 and 13 mRNA in the synovialis were detected with RT-PCR. Results The repaired tissues were totally hyaline cartilages in the experiment group 2 weeks after operation and there were no repaired tissues in the control group. There were significant differences between these 2 groups in Wakitani scores (P<0.01). The activation and expression of MMP-2, 3, 9 decreased in the experiment group (P<0.05), but the activation of MMP-13 sustained and the expression of MMP-13 could be detected during the observed period (P>0.05). Conclusion The new biological scaffold can alleviate the inflammatory and protect the cartilages by inhibiting the expression of MMPS, which promote the reconstruction of articular cartilage in rabbits.
